When you watch television, turn up the lights and sit away from the screen.
Ahh! A Wind chime!
We have one honest person, and one dishonest person.
If asked which individual is excellent,
most people would probably say the honest one.
But even an honest person sometimes hurts another's feelings by being an honest person.
At such a time, what does one say?
What can one say?
King Shinigami suddenly sends me an order! He is a pretty bad shinigami!
Let's Begin From, "I Hate You"
Well, that is a bit of a weird way to say things
but I won't worry about that now!
I just want to do my job!
This is a shinigami?
It's smaller than I'd thought.
Just an apprentice.
Be quiet, you!
Before you get hurt, just give me your soul.
Whose?
Hers.
Over there, the one with the unbelievable bust for a juniorhigh school student!
Huh? Me?
Why? Explain yourself!
That's right. Give us a convincing explanation!
Let's see... this is a pain, and I'm so lazy.
Stop fooling around and explain yourself!
By the way, our lunch break is short.
You have exactly seven minutes.
What? That won't be easy!
Well, in a nut shell, Miss Perfect Kotone over here just happens to hate Little Miss Suzuko's prissy guts!
Huh?
I felt the power of the waves of hatred, and that's why you all can see me.
End of explanation.
Is that true?
T... That's absolutely ridiculous!
That's right!
When you're short on time, you should raise your hand to speak!
All right then! As you've heard, these two are very good friends.
Risky, I think you're mistaken.
Right?
Sure!
Idiots.
I can read the heart of one whose emotional waves I have received!
The fact is, Kotone hates Suzuko from the bottom of her heart.
Okay.
Take the tests you just took:
Kotone studied so hard without sleeping and got 99%.
Suzuko relied on a hunch and got 100%.
"Oh... It was just a fluke," she says.
What rubbish!
Five more minutes.
All right, I got it!
For that matter, the curry cooking class was exactly the same story.
Kotone researched her recipe from various places and eras, and her curry had 13 different kinds of spices,
and the right kind of potatoes, onions, carrots, and beef that would create mouth-watering taste,
but even that wasn't good enough compared to Suzuko's curry!
Why is that?
M... mine just happened to turn out great.
Kotone works her buns off, and Suzuko, who makes no effort at all, keeps leaving her in the dust.
When that's the story, Suzuko comes up to Kotone as if nothing had happened. That really irritates her!
Suzuko! She hates you!
Kotone?
No! It's not true at all!
Please believe me.
Oh boy, she's really pushing herself.
Okay. Lemme tell ya a good story...
...about that guy Kotone met at her prep school.
Stop it!
Kotone has really liked him the whole time...
Stop it!
...but the fact is, he only used her to try to get close to Suzuko.
Here's the scoop.
Hey cutie, you wanna walk home with me?
By the way, you're a friend of Suzuko Natsume, aren't you?
Could I get you to introduce me to her?
Huh? Really? Yay!
So much for Kotone's pride.
But, pulling away from Suzuko would have wounded her pride even more.
So she's been holding herself back, holding back and filling up with hatred and resentment.
Is that true?
Kotone?
It's true.
What the shinigami said is completely true!
Whenever I'm with Suzuko, I feel like a worthless worm!
It drives me absolutely nuts!
I hate you!
I hate, hate, hate you!
Yah haha! She finally blurted it out!
So, Suzuko.
How do you feel? Sad and hurt, right?
Huh?
Do you remember?
The place where you and I first met, Kotone?
It was right there by the ocean.
What on earth are you talking about?
I just told you that I hated you!
That time, too, you were screaming at the top of your lungs.
Matsuzaka, you crummy bastard!
Just because you're okay-looking doesn't mean you're king!
I'll make you regret choosing that bimbo over me!
You're lower than a water flea!
You saw...?
When I was in elementary school, I was really shy and was always picked on because of it.
I was envious of your boldness and always thought I wanted to be friends with you.
It's been a while since I'd gotten to see you in such fine form.
How can you actually be happy? I said I hate you!
That's right. You hate me!
You're not supposed to accept it!
But I really like you!
Stop it! I'm not into weird stuff like this!
Um, our lunch break is almost over.
Huh?
Kotone, thank you!
Your attitude is even more friendly than before!
Suzuko-san really loves Kotone-san alot, doesn't she?
Safety!
The two of them understand each other perfectly.
Well, you think so?
Angel Safety will now bless both of them.
Wait, wait a moment. What do you mean, "Bless?"
Be happy!
